- Exilis is contraindicated in patients with metal implants as well as any active implanted device. Exilis is also contraindicated for women who are pregnant or lactating.
- Please be sure to share your complete medical history with us so we can make sure Exilis is right for you.
- Please wear comfortable clothing on the day of your treatment so we can gain access to your back/buttocks/thighs for easy placement of the ground electrode as well as the treatment area.
- No make-up, creams, or lotions on skin; no jewelry. Skin should be hair-free.
- If the treatment area is on your body (instead of tace), please arrive at your appointment well-hydrated. Ideally, you should hydrate the day before, the day of, and the day after your treatment as this will result in a more comfortable and efficacious treatment. Additionally, we recommend light physical activity after treatment to help with lymphatic flow.
Exilis® PostTreatment Considerations
Treatment with the Small Applicator
- You may experience transient erythema (redness) that will last from a few minutes to an hour or possibly longer.
- Your skin may feel warm immediately after the treatment, but this will dissipate quickly.
- If you had your lower face or chin treated, you may have some tenderness in the area for a few hours or a day after.
- Treatment of the eyes may yield some swelling and patients are encouraged to sleep on two pillows for 24-48 after treatment.
Treatment with the Large Applicator
- You may experience transient erythema (redness) that will last from a few minutes to an hour or possibly longer.
- Your skin may feel quite warm for up to a few hours after treatment as deep tissue retains heat longer.
- You may feel tenderness in the treated area.
